Annual subscriptions for the Supporters Trust are now due and existing members should either receive a renewal form either by email or post over the next few days. The trust would be very grateful if you would complete and return the form, together with your annual subscriptions, as soon as possible. Forms can either be sent by post to the address on the form, or handed in to any member of the trust board on a matchday.
If you do not receive a renewal form, or indeed are not a current member but would like to join up, please email the club on admin@hendonfc.net and we'll send a form to you by return.
The financial year of the Hendon Football Club Supporters Trust ended on 31st January 2011. It has been running the club for more than two seasons now and it continues to be an uphill struggle, despite good form on the pitch and a great FA Cup run. The cup run has, in particular, boosted our finances but we cannot afford to be complacent. A poor cup run next season would be disastrous.
And so, once again, we are asking you to do what you can to support the Trust and the club. Remember, it’s as much your club as it is any other trust member's and without your support you might just wake up one day to find that you don't have a club to support.
There are all sorts of ways you can help, including:
Volunteering for one of the match day tasks. You wouldn’t need to miss any of the game and you wouldn’t need to do it very often. A few times a season would be a great help,
Get your friends and family to become members of the Trust – it’s only £10 a year. The more members we have, the easier it is for us to attract sponsors and advertisers,
Buy a ball in the monthly Snowball Lottery. Each ball costs just £5 per month and 55% of the money that the Trust receives is paid back as prizes. In 2010, nearly £6,000 was paid out in Snowball prizes.
There’s loads of other ways that you could help. Please speak to Trust co-chairmen Phil Rogers, Bryan Roberts, football club chairman Simon Lawrence or any of the Trust Board if you would like to talk about ways in which you can make a difference to Hendon Football Club.
The trust board would like to thank you all for supporting the Trust and Hendon Football Club, and they look forward to your continuing support through the rest of this season and beyond.
